Oh! I should keep some oil and bolts around, then!

. . . It's rumored? Well, you can tell me. Do you drink blood or no?

JUNO @junobot.bsky.social · 11h

Claro! Oil and bolts are JUNOBOT's favorite snacks - They are -- A and OK!

It is also long rumored that JUNOBOT indulges in the drinking of blood.

(Getting to her feet, she wandered off. Starting to brew some coffee. She NEEDS caffeine.)

Do you drink, Junobot?

JUNO @junobot.bsky.social · 22h

If the area is shaded, JUNOBOT does not see why not.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 22h

(Gestures vaguely in a direction.)

Close. I think.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 22h

And there's nobody there to *enjoy* that peace.

So how does that help anybody?

ʀᴀssɪʟᴏɴ @dominustemporis.bsky.social · 1d

If all of your enemies no longer exist then you cannot be at war. Thus you have eternal peace.

It is a full proof plan.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 7d

(Oh, that got a laugh from her. Not a normal laugh. No, it was a manic giggle - she was shaking her head while she laughed. In utter disbelief.)

How?!

JUNO @junobot.bsky.social · 23h

Query the location of coffee.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 23h

Oh —! Thank you, Junobot!

I, um... (Another stretch, then a yawn.) Can I get coffee first or no?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 23h

JUNO @junobot.bsky.social · 1d

BUONGIORNO!

It will be warm today. It is advisable to wear protection.

JUNOBOT will: spray the User.

Lazily stretches.

She's awake.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 1d

Lazily stretches.

She's awake.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 1d

Fast asleep, curled up on the floor.

She's more comfortable there than in a bed.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 2d

Casually pickpocketing the reader.

She's looking for shiny objects, not money. She has no use for money.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 2d

Shivering.

When did it get cold?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

(Squints at him. Looking him up and down.)

. . . If you say so.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍. @axisbound.bsky.social · 3d

sure, that's it.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

Like a bottle of wine or something?

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍. @axisbound.bsky.social · 3d

i'm matured.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

Okay!

Then, you're definitely old!

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍. @axisbound.bsky.social · 3d

let's say i'm past middle age and leave it at that then.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, definitely not rare! But they... uh... point is, their life cycles aren't long. So they're older sooner.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

If you wanna be lame about it, sure.

It's a lot more fun to eat it like this.

𝐃𝐄𝐋 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐀 𝐉𝐎𝐁 @delasi.bsky.social · 3d

( catching it without looking like a badass. )

can i have like, a bowl?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

(Tosses a spoon in her direction.)

You can share with me, if you want.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 3d

Eating ice cream straight from the carton.

It's chocolate fudge brownie.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍. @axisbound.bsky.social · 4d

i don't know anything about these hew mans. are they a rare species?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

Depends on the species.

Humans have shorter life cycles. For a human, being 70 is old, right? But for a Time Lord, at least according to what I know, it's not. My dad was, I think, 900-and-something when my mother had me.

For you? Well, my next question was gonna be about your species' life cycle.

i fought in the war. i'm old *enough*, let's say.

what's old to you anyway? how do you decide?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, right. That's... I forgot that's the last thing we were...

Ahem! Anyway! That's fair enough. I'm sure you have a guess, though. Give me your best guess and I'll tell you if you're old or not.

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙇𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙍. @axisbound.bsky.social · 4d

no, because i *still* want that time machine. i'll find these 'time lords' of yours.

i don't know my date of birth. i was found.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

Why d'ya ask? Did you miss me?

How's it complicated? Did you lose count? That happens sometimes, I'd understand.

oh, it's you! the alleged time-traveler. where've you been hiding?

me? i'm . . . well, that's complicated.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

Mmhm. Of course, sir.

Quick question. How old're you?

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

i'm not old. i'm just . . . well-matured.

"Really?"

Her eyes lit up and she tilted her head forward, using her hair as a curtain to hide her face. She gets excited easily.

"I like them too. They seem... well... sweet. So, if they need to get energy out, I'll be happy to be of service!"

𝐢𝐯𝐲 🌱 @toxiclips.bsky.social · 4d

“ they like you. ”

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

"They seemed nice to me. It was like... I don't know... a hug!"

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 4d

𝐢𝐯𝐲 🌱 @toxiclips.bsky.social · 6d

“ neither are they. ”

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 6d

She nodded, head tilting. A curious dog.

"Makes sense. Tell them to be careful, though. Sometimes people... uh... aren't nice."

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 5d

. . . This is only a guess, but:

This is probably why people aren't complimenting you, miss.

your girlfriend of the week @agentdaisy.bsky.social · 5d

So you hate women? I see.

𝓥alerie @universejumping.bsky.social · 6d

That's absolutely not what I said.
